Blu-ray Review – Baby It’s You

It’s a tale of attraction and realization in 1983’s “Baby It’s You,” which is collected from the memories of co-producer Amy Robinson and brought to the screen by writer/director John Sayles. It’s a period piece, taking viewers back to the mid-1960s, following two characters as they deal with ideas of love and realities of life, trying to understand the impossible as these teenagers mature into young adults. Sayles pumps the picture full of music and does an excellent job capturing a time and place, but he’s not making a sentimental feature in “Baby It’s You.” There’s no gooey center to this understanding of deep feelings, and dramatic power is curiously missing from the offering, which lands some adolescent blues, but comes up a little short when trying to realize arcs of awareness facing the main characters.
